Request for Proposals for Regional Geographic Initiative Funding: In Region 10, RGI funding supports projects in geographic areas in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. Region 10, RGI projects are generally funded in the $5,000 to $50,000 range. No match is required unless required by a specific statute used to make the award. Matching funds, leveraging of funds, in-kind contributions, and other forms of leveraging strengthen proposals. RGI assistance agreements have been very competitive. In 2003, Region 10 received over four million dollars in requests for $420,000.00 in available funds. Twelve grants were funded out of 100 applications. Although RGI funded projects frequently contribute to the goals of overarching, long term initiatives or plans, deliverables for any one assistance agreement are usually achieved in a one or two year period. Although an individual project may last more than one year, RGI funds are awarded annually on a competitive basis. Assistance agreement proposals should be constructed with this in mind.
